Bedding Double Easy Exhibition Flared Pale Pink Shade Train

Medium sized perfect blooms, vigorous, slightly lax, likes cool shade, prefers to be grown outside as much as possible. Very easy to grow and free flowering (two flowers per axil).

This is a popular and beautiful cultivar that we can thoroughly recommend. One of our very favourite doubles. Successful exhibition cultivar. Superb.

Tube: Pink, fairly short.

Sepals: Vibrant red rose, 1/2 up, recurved, but with slightly reflexed tips.

Corolla: A smooth creamy white, with slight red rose veining at petal base. Very full, neat, short, ruffled petals, fully flared.

Parentage: Lilac Lustre x unamed seedling.
